Here's all the latest stories coming out of Anfield in today's Sunday Mirror...

Raheem dream

Liverpool want to give Raheem Sterling a new £100,000-a-week contract that includes a £60million buy-out clause.

The deal is expected to be tied up within the next few weeks, with the Reds wanting a hefty trigger fee to make it clear to Europe’s top clubs they will need deep pockets if they hope to lure away the England international .

Real Madrid have been linked with the 19-year-old and Liverpool are determined to protect themselves should a bid come in for one of their prize assets.

Kop chiefs ended up in a tricky situation over Luis Suarez when Arsenal heard the Uruguay striker had a £40m clause in his contract – so offered one pound more.

Rodgers fury after defeat

Diego Costa's 67th-minute strike gave the Blues victory at Anfield, but it was referee Anthony Taylor's decision not to award the home side a penalty late on that upset Rodgers.

Steve Gerrard struck goalwards but saw his effort blocked by the arm of Gary Cahill.

"It was a clear one," Rodgers told BT Sport 1.

"We worked so hard in the game, we need those decisions. It was quite obvious, it hits his hand, it was a clear clear penalty and the referee has a clear view of it. The players gave everything and we deserved at least a point."
